    thescruffyone, im the same when it comes to holding a gun right handed just feels weird i've been trying to shoot the shotgun from the right not as weird as a scope mounted rifle not sure if anything will come of it but as moxy says its brain training, i wonder if you patched off the left eye would it stop you from unconsciously trying to pull your left eye into the view of the scope and make things a bit more comfortable, at the end of the day i say it could be done with time and patience, but it just wouldn't be the same as what comes naturally to you.

    thats what i thought surely that way lurcher to lurcher off proven working parents would be better than to straight greyhound.where did all this % in lurchers come from anyway some of the best allround working lurchers come from lines that have been bred for years and years and how can u tell whats in them?does it really matter so long as they do their job Your 100% right scotty worker to worker percentage is just a number and we all know numbers and gentics dont work just cause it should be 1/4 because fractions says it should be dose'nt mean it is gentics could of through more to one
